Excellent breakdown of this strange, bewildering case. But as your correspondent described his relationship. His ex partner was just being herself. It sounds so simplistic given the tragic outcomes of this case but maybe Erin Patterson was just being herself. Does that make it easier to understand why she did what she did? Not at all. We may never know. But maybe just being herself is an explanation. Sends chills down your spine though!
I have endured the consequences of severe personality disorders from three people throughout my life. Two of them manifested very similar vicious narcissistic behaviours and came from the same family. I am convinced therefore that genetics plays a major part. Other members of the family who were raised in exactly the same way, were luckier in the random gene selection.
These three people’s behaviours were terribly destructive for all those with whom they came into contact. It was impossible to understand how they could do such things to people with no regret or compassion. I have come to understand that they Simply lack empathy.
Their principal aim in life is self satisfaction. As long as this is achieved, collateral damage, in their reasoning, is to be expected. Why apologise for fulfilling an objective? They will never apologise.
My advice to anyone who becomes involved with such a narcissist is to escape now. They cannot change and you will continue to suffer. Unfortunately, in my case, I was unable to escape these narcissists and continue to suffer post traumatically.
I have not followed the mushroom case too closely but really did not expect a conviction as I struggled to see a motive. Your examination of personality disorders was quite illuminating - we may never know why she acted as she did.

Watching FAKE every Sunday on 10 enjoying how the story is unfolding and how well the actors are playing the parts
You can justify why people are as they are but it has a lot to do with society and people's ability to get away with it

Absolutely brilliant read! Thank you for the magical words on the mushroom case and that beautiful mother and son song version of Yellow. 🙏 ❤️
